But what we did- which was retrospectively a brilliant move- is we pushed for the policy and we developed a workshop that we took around- a workshop on lesbianism and feminism and why feminists should support lesbians what the link was between a lesbian and being a feminist, and what the analysis was about how oppression of lesbians kept all women in line. And so we did that in this workshop which we took around B.C. We took it around to all the BCFW groups and we took it, and we'd do it for anybody that wanted us to do it. So we did- we got to go to some schools and we did this work, we just presented our workshop anywhere that we could get an invitation. And that was really powerful work. It was good for us to do, but it really did make a difference. When I look back on how attitude and social changes have happened around lesbian and LGBTQ rights in Canada, that was important work. I believe that that made a difference. It was one of the first anti-homophobia workshops in Canada. And yeah! It was good work! And so out of that came- we created a book which took a really long time to create. So we did the workshops between 76 and then in 86 we published Stepping Out of Line, which was a compilation. Which was our workshop, it was a script for our workshop and it has directions because we wanted other people to do the workshop And it was a resource manual and a workshop guide. So that was that ten years of work.

And my personal life at that point was- Amazon Acres was the farm, so it was all farming. We bought these ten acres out behind mission and we built and barn and we had animals and we had a giant garden and we had tones and tones and tones of women coming to stay with us all the time. So yeah, so there was political activism in groups which tended to happen in the city and then there was the farm, and the farm work, which was outside of Mission. And I found this, it's always interesting looking backwards. This is 1977 and it's the British Columbia Federation of Women, rural Women's newsletter, and there’s an announcement in here, article in here, about the founding of the rural lesbian association. [Reads] "Started in the summer of ‘76 by a group of about eight lesbian feminists living in the Fraser Valley", and then it goes on and on and on. So that was just, I don't remember that, it was just interesting that that’s when that happened. So those of us that were living at Amazon Acres were trying to make a- we were trying to create a political lesbian feminist community, where we lived, but it was very difficult to do that. So we were very still and most of our political and social life took place in Vancouver.
